The biggest surprise for me in their history is that Nono animated for them, too. Hoe could that happen? on the album: Kenya Safari he is present on several tracks. How come Nyoka Longo did not mind?
Wasn't it the start of problems that after Familia Dei started out, very soon Bimi Ombale and Ilo Pablo couldn't agree on the directions of the band. And that's why Bimi Quit? If it happened like that, I wonder what exatly they could not agree about. To my mind their biggest hit was Loiseau Rare, but after that they did not make other big songs like that, for a few exceptions that were near. Moreover, they became quite oldschool, and unfortunately in the bad sense.
So from artistic point of view I am not surprised at all that they were on the decline from the beginnings, and in such circumstance you get stressed and stress causes illness.
Also, being able to play well does not neccessarily mean you are good at choosing direction, or have the ability for management. If you don't have the latter too, no matter how good musician you are, you will be unsuccessful.
And stress and unsuccess result in the decline of health long term. Especially in poort countries like Congo.
I did not check the video but I guess the burial happened recently. He got into an accident about a year or half a year ago, and he died in spring or sometimes the beginning of summer. That's why I am surprised it is only in the news now.
I never really gave familia dei a proper opportunity then recently i listened to this song at a party and from then i was like how come i neglected that song,proper song,proper group shame they disbanded so quick,as usual
To discover Familia Dei, a good starting point is this concert:
Sorry guys for the new interruption. I am having difficulty finding a proper server recently for our forum. Every time I subscribe somewhere, it reveals along the way there is a glitch with the subscription and I need to suspend. The forum is not in danger, the issue is only about where the forum can be run. Hopefully this recent one will do, but I cannot guarantee anything. If anything happens, this is the reason you need to think about when you see the forum is temporarily closed. I'll try to bring it back as soon as possible.
If you find any errors and issues, please report it!
